So schön wie du

About This Movie

So schön wie du is a raw, intimate portrait of youth set against the backdrop of rural East Germany. The film captures the essence of friendship between Tina and Marlene, two girls navigating the mundane yet turbulent landscape of their lives. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid, immersing you in their world of late-night escapades between the disco and bleak football fields. It’s not just about their friendship; it’s about the longing for connection and recognition, that search for intimacy in a world that seems to overlook them. The performances are genuine, capturing those fleeting moments of hope and vulnerability. And while the director remains unknown, the film's atmosphere resonates with a certain authenticity that makes it stand apart.
